Surrey is the West Coast equivalent of Brampton, monolithic Punjabi communities that engage in Vote Blocking to ensure Punjabi rights in Parliament, the Sikhs have figured out how to game democracy to the benefit of themselves, and to the detriment of Canadians, (ie) Harjit Sajjan taking orders from the World Sikh Org and putting Afghan Sikhs in front of Canadians
@GermynGroup It's really bad. Healthcare is a disaster. Serious traffic violations like running red lights, stop signs, and speeding are just 'normal'. Car thefts, violent carjackings, and shootings (targeted and random). Violent store robberies, home invasions, kidnappings, human trafficki, fraud and extortion. That's Brampton.
Stifling political correctness will not solve our legitimate problems. Sometimes the truth is inconvenient but how can we solve legitimate issues if we don’t talk honestly about them. There is a serious crime problem in the Indian community with gangs etc. My Indian friends are first to point this out.
Forget about Surrey, the whole country is ruined by these international students, temporary workers, illegal refugees, and asylum seekers. As a result present and future generations of Canadians are going to suffer.
It's terrible that people who are trying to bring their spouse or family sponsorship can't get results for up to 3 or 4 years, but students and refugees are hop, skipping and jumping inside. Family have homes waiting for them to live in, while students and refugees don't. Nothing makes sense.
@@eyesuckle Immigration is entirely relevant to the topic of life in Surrey BC. The fertility rate of Canadian-born women is below replacement levels, meaning that the population would drop without some immigration. Unfortunately, the Federal government rejects the idea of population stability in favour of mass immigration leading to high population growth. Surrey is a victim of those policies.
Surrey used to be very nice neighborhood, however after 20+ years it became dilapidated, unpleasant and I can say dangerous now. Sorry but it was just neglected like the people there do NOT care about anything.
He completely ignores how many unskilled, fast tracked PRs are sponsoring their senior family members who don’t speak French or English but are now showing up for benefits and free health care. Canada is struggling to support their own aging population yet Punjabi foreign interference has old asf non English/French seniors showing up begging for social services
I would ad the school system to your list , its a joke how overcrowded they are and how little support kids get that have issues ... Moved to Surrey 20 years ago after living 20 years in Abbotsford and liked the change at first , at the time the area i moved to was quiet with little crime and reasonable house prices ... However now the area is getting way to over populated and with most people from other countries who can barley speak English and often act rude and don't seem to have much respect for any of the rules ...Traffic is a nightmare all over the city and like you mentioned good luck if you need to go to the hospital .. DO NOT MOVE TO SURREY IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR SANITY AND HEALTH .....lol
I lived in Surrey for 20 years. It was okay at 1st but that was 25 years ago. It has declined due to over population, over strained infrastructure, overpriced everywhere, with so much demand that supply cant keep up(services, health, properties). Younger people should really try to save their money and rent or buy in Maple Ridge or Aldergrove.
Well thats how it was like before 10 15years ago ppl moved to Surrey from Vancouver because cheaper and bigger homes. Now your saying younger ppl should move to maple ridge aldergrove its becoming the same thing that Surrey has become overpopulated lots of traffic. The number of population is growing to fast and definitely isnt infrastructure healthcare isnt keeping up with it meamwhile we get taxed thru the roof
Another thing he didn't mention is don't work on the other side of the river if you want to live in Surrey. Bridge traffic during rush hour is insane even when there aren't any stalls on the bridges. If there is a problem, the traffic is backed up for kilometers. (my commute time got cut to 1/3 of what it used to be when I started working off hours to avoid rush hours)
Live beside the Port Mann Bridge. After 36 years we have sold and are leaving in 1 month. This is not West Coast living. It is now a crowded, choking , gasping calamity of humanity. More tenement than Canadian living. People living in sheds, garages, in dilapidated add ons. Many with no plumbing. Wth! Neighborhood is a parking lot now. It is truly gross. Every house is being bought by one group of people. Every house. We is so outy.
I grew up in Surrey and Aldergrove. I’ve gone back to visit and would never live there again ever! I’ve lived in northern BC on the coast and love it. Surrey is now little India and full of gangs, no thanks!!
I am living in since 1982 and in 2020 my Dr passed away . Since 2020 i have no Family Doctor.I go walk in clinics . No Dr.takes me. Dr in walk in clinic only treat you only one problem 2nd problem go next day eary morning before clinic opens.
This is the very same thing happening in red deer ab. During COVID my clinic I had been going to for 26 yrs kicked me to the curb and to this day I have no idea why! Was without a doctor for 4 yrs. Finally found one taking new patients, but wonder for how long until she leaves for greener pastures too. Canada is becoming a 3rd world country. Now we have pharmacists diagnosing and giving out medication for 32 different ailments.
Local students can't get the college seats. They have to waiting list for two to three years. First preference is for foreign students. Traffic is terrible in Surrey
Oh, don't worry. The lower mainland will catch up with you again in another decade. You're going to have to move a lot farther than Agassiz to escape permanently.
Only 6-8? My grandmother fell, fractured her pelvis, bashed her head in when she was 86. My dad took her to the hospital, they waited 12 to even get a first look, let alone anything else, while she had a fractured and actively bleeding skull at Surrey Memorial Hospital. Surrey is a literal dumpster fire. Don't even get me started about the trash LITERALLY everywhere or anything else💢💢💢
@@micap19nerd89 but that’s not because it’s Surrey. It’s because it’s rhe government. The government takes a long time to do anything. It’s full of delays and waste. This is because it’s not a private business. Private business have to compete with other businesses for you dollar so they suck up to you anyway they can. The government already has your dollar regardless of whether you use their services or not so they can just treat you any which way because they are the only game in town. Even if you go to Royal Columbian or Eagle Ridge hospital you still have to wait for hours. This is because hospitals are run by the government instead of the private sector.
All the things that make Beautiful British Columbia beautiful, are missing in Surrey. Want to go for a hike... go somewhere else, want to climb a mountain, go somewhere else, want to float down a river, go somewhere else... want sprawling suburbs, with lots of traffic and nothing else, you've come to the right place!
@@gomezfriesen It's IN Surrey - 5 minutes from neighbourhoods like Ocean Park, 10 minutes from Morgan Crossing. I live in Clayton Heights (near Langley) and it's about 25 minutes away for me. It's definitely not "45 minutes away" for anyone in the city of Surrey.
@@TeachersOnFire well, you are lucky to live in surrey and still be close to something natural. It was 45 minutes away from where I lived in central Surrey.
Completely agreed with your assessment. The nearest nice park and uncrowded so far is (Queens Park). I can't find any nice parks where my kids can enjoy themselves. Even Bear Creek is a shit show.
I just heard from someone that their Canadian daughter couldn't get accepted in a medical school in Canada, and the schools seem to favour those from Saudi... they got accepted in the UK and doing residency in the USA. wtf?
No this ís the story. Universities get more money for international students than Canadians, so they prefer them and help the international students get into the seats, leaving Canadians frustrated. After studying, these international students return to their country of origin, because they have contracts with their governments, leaving Canada to train up professionals for other countries and leaving Canada high and dry. It stinks!
Thanks Darin. Would be extremely useful if you can do a video on how the new zoning laws affects Surrey specifically following the release of the city's revised zoning rules.
Hello sir, I enjoy your content but also Canada has lost it's luster. I work full time in Vancouver, and used to live there but had to move to Surrey as a downgrade. I realized that even in the GVR and outskirts the idea of buying a house is absolutely a delusional dream come untrue. I believe I will never afford this fool's dream because although I work full time, I have been reduced from middle class to lower class working poor. The only place I am going to be able to buy a house is somewhere in Russia, perhaps the outskirts of Moscow, maybe Siberia as I have seen some houses there as cheap as 5 grand, on a minimal scale and if I want a few more perks maybe 20 to 30 grand to splurge. I saw a larger 8 bedroom house going for what would amount to 71 K CAD. If I do not take this chance I will die houseless in this 3rd world country of Canada.
I don't understand how anyone is affording anything in BC when even the crappiest home hours away from Vancouver costs almost a million dollars. That's complete insanity. In Quebec city I paid $260k for my semi-detached house.
I'm several hours from Vancouver but recently a dilapidated little house that probably should've been torn down went for 1.4 million. It's got to the point where only the wealthy can buy a home, and they're not even nice homes, run down and full of black mold thanks to the persistent humidity that rarely dips below 60%. Canada is dying.
I see many “save the farmers “bumper stickers- referring the situation in India but how about “save the farmland in Surrey “ So much fill has been dumped on some of the most fertile soil in the world for the sake of building mega homes and businesses. What happened to the Agricultural Land Reserve?
I live in Surrey by kigg george and 104. I cannot go 2 hours without sirens. Gun shots, Fires, Assaults, fireworks and more occur so frequently here I never let my guard down.
We have owned businesses in Surrey since the 80’s. Early 80’s looks like a dream compared to the Surrey I see now. It will only get worse as the. Majority of ethnic population there has chosen not to be ‘proud Canadians’. Heck, they just created another sub-country exactly like they ran away from. Somehow they’ve infiltered into most government offices, yet still can’t fill out a Cencus honestly. Huge monster homes housing -who knows how many people- pay only 1 property tax, 1 school tax etc. no wonder the average Canadian-born senior can’t get a doctor and our hospitals, schools, all infrastructure is suffering. Learning at least 1 of the 2 languages of our country should be mandatory.
@@GermynGroup not conistent with major cities in Canada. Are you sure about that, come to Calgary and you will see the exact same thing with the punjabi take over.
When I lived in Surrey in the 1990s, I worked for the school district in charge of keeping the classroom electronics and school computers operating. One year we opened 4 new high schools and 6 new elementary schools. They all opened with portables. I only had 5 technicians for over 15,000 desktops. That was when Surrey had about 300,000 people. I moved to Los Angeles in 2001 because by then I was on my phone half the telling people they has to wait for their scheduled tech visit to get emergencies dealt with. Elementary schools for a half day visit every three weeks. High schools a full day every 3 weeks. I came back to Burnaby in 2010 and now live in Maple Ridge. When I have gone back to the Newton area in Surrey, I am amazed at how congested it is now. Both houses in Newton where I lived have both been replaced by mega houses with 1-2 lower level suites in them. And it seems that most all houses in the old neighbourhood have a laneway house built in the back yard. With the streets packed with parked cars. Even Vancouver is in rush hour mode all day. It takes over an hour to get onto highway 1 at the Lonsdale on ramp in North Van and get to Hastings street across the Ironworkers Bridge. The wholes lower mainland is a victim of its own success. Basically, greater Vancouver is full people. What it was 50 years ago that was so attractive. is now a sea of slow moving cars.
I'm Brazilian living in Surrey, in one of the Hub buildings. I like living here. I'm able to use an underground passage to go to Save On Foods in the winter, which is really convenient. It's a super nice place. My desire is to move to Squamish, but I don't have money. My in-laws live in West End, (Downtown) but it's impossible to afford. Surrey is good. I can walk to Green Timbers or get SkyTrain and go to Downtown in 35-38 minutes.. No reason's to complain.. I bought a brand new car with the diff of rent in different areas..
Living near a Skytrain station is, in my humble opinion, the one thing that would make life in Surrey tolerable. You get the benefit of reasonable rent, combined with quick and cheap access to Vancouver, New Westminster and Burnaby. This strategy works well for my brother, who moved there about 20 years ago. It works for him, a renter with low income.
What I like most about Surrey is that I don’t need to spend a lot of money travelling to New Delhi or Mumbai. I find here everything about India like good food, all the religious paraphernalia, weird clothing and Bollywood music and movies. Candies and Indian desserts are the best. I like the parades with thousands of gods specially the one with hundred arms and legs and guys seated in yoga positions like a mummy. It’s very fun Surrey. I think Surrey is the first Sikh Kingdom in the world.
Im born and raised in east van riley park area then by memorial park and I moved to surrey in 2014 in my 30s. I hate livining here as I ppl lack social etiquette and class here. Growing up in the big nice city raised me differently but I used to all types of people and demographs. When I lived in Van, Id drive to Surrey, liking the suburban feel here but it is too overpopulated here.
We have been saving up for a down payment in surrey, and we are now moving to saskatchewan. $148k is what we paid in saskatchewan vs the hiuse in Guilford that was $1.5m.
There's nothing to do in Surrey. There's even more happening across the bridge in New West, a much smaller city. Tells you something. Surrey has no real city centre.
we need to keep the RCMP out so Surrey and its local police/militia can be overtaken by local, provincial, and offshore criminal interests and land pimps.
I have lived in surrey since 1968 and as soon as I can I am leaving the roads are terrible the cultural over taking from the Punjabi community is extreme. All the beautiful open space we once had has been plowed underfed. Health Care terrible, the housing market and development t market is owned by the Punjabi Community as is the Surrey City council and has been since the early 80’s, run run for your lives. The police are going to become a municipality run organization which means the corruption will be worse than it ever was under the RCMP, with it, the municipal police being run mostly by the Sikh and Muslim Communities, very different values, Surrey could have been an example of great planning and livability had the municipal councils Back in the early 80’s cares more about the standard of living than lining their pockets with under the table money paid for by the then Sikh developers, who by the way own all of the farm land now in surrey.
Lived in Surrey for 25 years, (central area, cedar hills aka Whalley) wasn't exactly my city of choice, it was close to work, without having to cross bridges. vehicle traffic is insane! One big freeway. Snow omg, nordel hill and river road Transit is okish sort of. Best Doctor's at SMH and Clinic, they are burned out, over worked still give you 101% the longest waited was 14 hours due to medical emergency in the hospital all doctors left the emergency department to tend to a patient. Shortest 30 minutes. Beautiful whalley parks a lot of baseball diamonds, near BC Lions trainning park. Green timbers park over populated not as enjoyable. Surrey place mall aka Central city community mall, requires a facelift, it has a family oriented feel Bike riding in Surrey not pleasurable experience. It is not Vancouver, no fraser river path ways or 'seawall' Brownsville park under skytrain bridge is beautiful though sketchy area, good fishing. Good fishing along the fraser river dock. Some people are friendly, ethnic community are disrespectful, not all. Fireworks(bombs) weeks before halloween lit off until the wee hours of the morning and weeks after too, anything goes in Surrey! People dump their garbage in back alleys, open fields... its a dirty city. The cost of gasoline can be more expensive. Best Whitespot at Guildford, staff very friendly, in a laid back family oriented atmosphere, good conversation. Ask for Nick Construction of new condo towers its where you're going to live, forcing the homeless into the open, i wonder where the homeless are going to be forced to move to. Langley? Drug users that include all people including your neighbor ! All about Pho on 104 and king George is good. This is central 108th to 96 ave, 152 street to king George blvd Best festivals fusion festival! At holland park. And Fvded in the park! water fountains on tarmac at City hall during summer Easy to get to new Westminster by skytrain, best fireworks display. Never a dull moment in Surrey, once had a dozen cop cars in my neighbourhood looking for someone, this guy runs through my back garden, cops jumping my fence chasing this guy. Hit and runs, murders, tesla drivers running red lights, helicopter out searching Walking score 0, krispy kreme 70 and Scott road, that's delta. Best Vans shoe store Guildford Mall Best service, staff great to talk with and helpful in a non aggressive way, greatest manager ever! If you're into Vasaki 88th ave and 128th street and 700,000 people.
Surrey has become a huge sprawling city, traffic multiplied manifolds. Surrey two decades back was a excellently livable city, presently residents face all sorts of problems generally associated with congestion and overcrowding.
Surrey has none of the things BC is famous for…. until you get to White Rock!! But you can barely see the mountains from Surrey, and there are no swimming holes. If you are driving on Hwy 1 eastbound in Surrey you may be able to see Mount Baker, but you can never see any of the local mountains from Surrey. The closest place to swim would be White Rock but that’s really far.
If English is your first language, Surrey is not the place to move to. You'll rarely hear it being spoken around you. In fact you'll rarely see someone where English would be their language. Not the same in White Rock; you'll see a mix of people there, that does include Caucasians.
Its so funny, people wanted to live in Burnaby and Vancouver. THEY MOVED THERE AND DID FARMING AND LATER INFRASTRUCTURE GOT DEVELOPED NOW PEOPLE ARE JEALOUS ABOUT THEM and just want to defame the community.
Dude you couldn’t be so far from the truth it’s no where as bad as you claim except for maybe the traffic due to construction. School And Drs walking clinics is same issue in all cities but surrey is still in far better shape. Surrey Memorial Hospital and the surrounding medical district that includes the 3 towers across from hospital containing all the additional specialists, largest outpatient care with Jim Patti on building, a Surrey heart Centre, and a full blown Heart clinic with a team of specialists that track patients hands on for a year or more for treatment above and beyond the separate specialists. The Surrey Hospital is largest hospital and medical district in Metro Vancouver next to Vancouver General Hospital it is not just Surrey’s Hospital but also Fraser Valley’s head hospital with all the services located around it. I have witnessed them accept emergency heart patients that was driven from signing in at emergency to a bed in intensive care wired up to monitors with in 15mins and a internal medicine dr monitoring and prescribing tests, bloodwork, scans within a few minutes of that. The hospital also has the largest Cancer centres in BC next to VGH but better… if you lived in RIchmond they would send you to see specialist at VGH and then get certain scans etc in downtown Vancouver/Chinatown or to St.Paul’s… or other hard to go to places with parking and traffic issues. But with Surrey everything is there with the hospital and its medical district in the same area. They have additional outpatient specialists outside that district through the city and Fraser valley as well. There is another hospital at the south west corner which is called Whiterock which might as well be Surrey since surrey mainly services it but it’s own city Whiterock and that peace arch hospital sits on the WR side of the border for WR/Surrey… the new hospital in south surrey//Cloverdale is intended be major hospital, much larger that Rmd or. Burnaby but to support peace arch and surrey memorial to help rest South Surrey/Whiterock and bring a major state of the art Cancer Centre there’s well to help that side of the region including Langley etc… the Cloverdale hospital with also have a medical district of outpatient hospital and specialist care services… So far I’ve only mentioned the hospital medical care not the endless clinics and Lifelabs centres and haven’t touch on schools, roads nor crime, transit, and for now 2 police forces Surrey RCMP & new Surrey Police. RCMP HQ. for BC in Surrey as well. I can go on forever. Surrey vs any other city in BC is doing very well while it still has deal with the same challenges the other cities do as well but it handles them better… it still holds largest Fireworks for Canada Day in western Canada, handles multiple border crossings, has the largest parades in BC while stated to be the largest city in BC and fast growing in North America… heavy mix cultures in Surrey with white and Indian being largest so every type of cuisines available. Now if you don’t like it in Surrey then please please leave we could use the space for someone that appreciates the area and its growth and good luck at the other cities but don’t come back when you see what you lost…
Thank you for the information. I am a local in Cloverdale. Things changed such a lot since we moved here in 2011. Rather shocking and sad. On a different note, please try yellow or orange as a highlight colour. The charcoal defies the purpose. Thanks.
Talking about equality, inclusive ….. I stopped / have to give up parts of my equally important life : stop going to Tim Horton, coffee is more like water plus bit of coffee that tastes funny; giving up my hobby of swimming, after seeing they bathing their bodies inside pool , spit into the pool; and surrendered by loud foreign language in the public transacts……..lists can go on and on …😢😢
What I hate about Surrey is the traffic. Everybody drives at or below the speed limit, both lanes, parallel to the other car beside them. No one wants to over take the other car. Slow cars in the fast lane, slow cars in the slow lane. Its such headache going through city
You have to take a Time Machine back to the late seventies, or early 80. I was a kid, but it was normal back then. After Expo, then the olympics. The government promoted B.C as the best place to live. You saw it , and heard it everywhere! The whole world did come! Making all the lower mainland a rich person’s paradise!
1) healthcare is trash everywhere in bc. Surrey might be worse but the bar is already in hell soo yeah. 2) infrastructure in surrey seems to depend largely on what part you are in. Even the busier bits are more workable than many other cities during rush hour. Its leaving the city that's painful. Plus schools anywhere outside of Vancouver are all over serviced as far as I can tell. Vancouver is unlivably expensive, so everyone is spilling into the greater vancouver area 3) its reputation may hold in some areas, but again, it all depends on the area. All that to say, bc is just not a great place to live right now, but it can be more or less livable based on the specific area within any given area. Getting out of the province is the best decision ive made in a while
People of the internet, get out more often. Surrey is a big city .Newton or Scott Road doesn’t represent the city. Go further South and that will change your impression of Surrey.
The worst part would be that you've chose to live there. Ie. if you can afford to live there you can afford to live in many, many MUCH nicer areas within a 200km radius of Surrey (excluding, of course, locations in that circle south of 49th).
Find it pathetic that we are spending so much money on so little new hospital beds 🙄 As a long time surrey resident, I cannot believe they are digging up Fraser hwy again! My family always joke about how widening one road can feed three generations of a family …. Everything takes forever …..
I live in Sooke and I have no doctor & there is NO HOSPITAL within 30 KM of here! Canada healthcare SUCKS!! Maybe residents of Surrey should sue the provincial government for inadequate health care? Canada's population growth is insane and needs to be reigned in!
I'm Indigenous and lived on the west coast years ago and now moved back. I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE SURREY NOW!!! Racism is quite thick. I faced renovictions and oh yeah my landlord gave us an eviction notice because my child had the audacity to play in the backyard and made some noise. That became I had to turn all our lights off at 9pm while his unit had all his lights on and enough outside lights to look like daylight. They stopped us from using the laundry because I blocked the door to it with the fridge because I caught the landlord snooping around my house ( we had no lock on it and he wouldn't provide one. So we had some debates and then he got the eviction. Found out he couldn't because of his infractions and then said his cousin was moving in and when that didn't work it became his mother and Grandmother. In other words when he found out I was Indigenous ( White presenting Metis ) I was no longer good enough. Even paid 6 months rent up front. By the way , I had to dive in a ditch because of a drive by. You must live in one of the better areas. That being said it is still a very good area for natural parks and greenery. Just be careful who you deal with.
Sounds like one of our landlords there in Surrey. He asked for six months to be payed in advance for a space on his driveway for our RV and had the stupidest rules to make it look like we didn’t live there. Impossible for my roommates who were elderly. He ripped us off constantly threatening to evict us only to say we couldn’t move until the six or three months were done when we had had enough and went to a real RV park by chance. Can’t even rent pads. Huge waiting lists, shortages and the rent for pads and spaces like his has doubled since. That was about two Years ago
Surrey is the new New Delhi. You'd be walking down the street in Delta for example (Scott rd) and you'll think you're in india. Hordes of indians walking on both sides of the street. Before these people were allowed to invade the country you could barely see a few people (of all races combined) walking on either side but now you see dozens and dozens of these people (indians) walking on the sides. NOT good. This is done ON PURPOSE by the govt. This is exactly what the WEF ordered. This WILL result in the destruction of the labour market.
I'm a Christian from India and let me tell you that most of India doesn't live like how these folks do, atleast the ones who have migrated from big cities in India. I have come here to assimilate into the culture, complete my masters and probably find a job that comes under a skill that is hard to find amongst Canadians. In that way neither am I taking jobs from fellow Canadians or doing some shitty job for a PR. And if none of that works, I'm happy to head back home and do what I was doing which was working in the corporate back in India. The folks you find in Brampton and Surrey are the ones who come mostly from Punjab and not all are bad, let me tell you that but the issue is Punjab is mostly farmland and most of these folks haven't even seen a major city in India, so when you suddenly pick someone from there and have them land in Canada, its a culture that they don't understand, so they force themselves to mix only amongst themselves (Punjabis). Also these folks don't speak the official language which is Hindi or English, they mostly just stick to their own which is Punjabi, so they find it hard to get along with the rest of the states. Now the current government has let so many of them come into Canada that its hard for them to manage any of these excess immigration. Honestly the shock that one has to deal with in a new land is understandable from a Punjabis POV but this isn't good for Canada or Canadians because this isn't the culture one follows here and as a Christian Indian I understand this well. I honestly hope that Pierre puts an end to this unskilled immigration coming in from Punjab. Its not good for Canada as the country isn't prepared for such large unskilled migrants to come in who can't understand the culture or have any value add to the society. A good example of whats actually good immigration is to see how America gets the cream of students and immigrants from India. Doctors, engineers, nurses, lawyers, teachers, data scientist you name it all mostly from the west and southern states of India who pay their taxes and have helped America grow. Also here's one interesting fact, especially for Canadians who think all of these folks are Indians, ask any of them in Brampton or Surrey whether they are Indians or Punjabis and I bet you they will first say they are Punjabis, that shows how much they hate India themselves. No patriotic Indian will ever deny they are an Indian. Hence the term Khalistan has emerged so much. A humble request to my fellow Canadians as a Christian who respects the values of this country, do your research on the situation in Brampton and Surrey, you'll understand what's actually going on there.
I don't understand why Canadian government let so many unskilled and old immigrants into the country. Corrupted government all along I think, just give me the money...I will let you in strategy... no one cares who you are I guessed
Schools are not great. When my kid was in primary school I had to take her out of one school because too many kids couldn’t speak English, it was hindering her education. This was over ten years ago it maybe be worse now.
Oh really? What school? I know teachers are challenged with this, they have to teach and also teach english to some, making it quite difficult on everyone.

Surrey is the West Coast equivalent of Brampton, monolithic Punjabi communities that engage in Vote Blocking to ensure Punjabi rights in Parliament, the Sikhs have figured out how to game democracy to the benefit of themselves, and to the detriment of Canadians, (ie) Harjit Sajjan taking orders from the World Sikh Org and putting Afghan Sikhs in front of Canadians
I hear a lot about Brampton. What's it like there?
@GermynGroup It's really bad. Healthcare is a disaster. Serious traffic violations like running red lights, stop signs, and speeding are just 'normal'. Car thefts, violent carjackings, and shootings (targeted and random). Violent store robberies, home invasions, kidnappings, human trafficki, fraud and extortion. That's Brampton.
@@GermynGroup subcontinent politics, crime, corruption, traffic, extortion and white flight.
Sounds good. Block the hateful maga types!
Stifling political correctness will not solve our legitimate problems. Sometimes the truth is inconvenient but how can we solve legitimate issues if we don’t talk honestly about them. There is a serious crime problem in the Indian community with gangs etc. My Indian friends are first to point this out.
Forget about Surrey, the whole country is ruined by these international students, temporary workers, illegal refugees, and asylum seekers. As a result present and future generations of Canadians are going to suffer.
It's terrible that people who are trying to bring their spouse or family sponsorship can't get results for up to 3 or 4 years, but students and refugees are hop, skipping and jumping inside. Family have homes waiting for them to live in, while students and refugees don't. Nothing makes sense.

He completely ignores how many unskilled, fast tracked PRs are sponsoring their senior family members who don’t speak French or English but are now showing up for benefits and free health care.
Canada is struggling to support their own aging population yet Punjabi foreign interference has old asf non English/French seniors showing up begging for social services
The population is growning fast for sure
Excellent point! Unfettered mass immigration is ruining the beauty and promise of the Canada my parents worked hard to build! Ruined now.
I would ad the school system to your list , its a joke how overcrowded they are and how little support kids get that have issues ...
Moved to Surrey 20 years ago after living 20 years in Abbotsford and liked the change at first , at the time the area i moved to was quiet with little crime and reasonable house prices ...
However now the area is getting way to over populated and with most people from other countries who can barley speak English and often act rude and don't seem to have much respect for any of the rules ...Traffic is a nightmare all over the city and like you mentioned good luck if you need to go to the hospital ..
DO NOT MOVE TO SURREY IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR SANITY AND HEALTH .....lol
I made the mistake 3 years ago.
I lived in Surrey for 20 years. It was okay at 1st but that was 25 years ago. It has declined due to over population, over strained infrastructure, overpriced everywhere, with so much demand that supply cant keep up(services, health, properties). Younger people should really try to save their money and rent or buy in Maple Ridge or Aldergrove.
It has really grown here. I miss small towns…
Aldergrove is growing and isn't much more affordable to be honest
Well thats how it was like before 10 15years ago ppl moved to Surrey from Vancouver because cheaper and bigger homes. Now your saying younger ppl should move to maple ridge aldergrove its becoming the same thing that Surrey has become overpopulated lots of traffic. The number of population is growing to fast and definitely isnt infrastructure healthcare isnt keeping up with it meamwhile we get taxed thru the roof
Another thing he didn't mention is don't work on the other side of the river if you want to live in Surrey. Bridge traffic during rush hour is insane even when there aren't any stalls on the bridges. If there is a problem, the traffic is backed up for kilometers. (my commute time got cut to 1/3 of what it used to be when I started working off hours to avoid rush hours)
Good point. I have a video coming out on this shortly
I noticed that Surrey drivers find a way to create traffic when there's completely no reason.
Live beside the Port Mann Bridge. After 36 years we have sold and are leaving in 1 month.

Only 6-8? My grandmother fell, fractured her pelvis, bashed her head in when she was 86. My dad took her to the hospital, they waited 12 to even get a first look, let alone anything else, while she had a fractured and actively bleeding skull at Surrey Memorial Hospital. Surrey is a literal dumpster fire. Don't even get me started about the trash LITERALLY everywhere or anything else💢💢💢
@@micap19nerd89 but that’s not because it’s Surrey. It’s because it’s rhe government. The government takes a long time to do anything. It’s full of delays and waste. This is because it’s not a private business. Private business have to compete with other businesses for you dollar so they suck up to you anyway they can. The government already has your dollar regardless of whether you use their services or not so they can just treat you any which way because they are the only game in town. Even if you go to Royal Columbian or Eagle Ridge hospital you still have to wait for hours. This is because hospitals are run by the government instead of the private sector.
All the things that make Beautiful British Columbia beautiful, are missing in Surrey.

Not true, my friend. My wife and I love our weekly walks at Crescent Beach ... in SURREY.
@@TeachersOnFire ha ha, Cresent beach is still 30 - 45 minutes away from the rest of Surrey.
@@gomezfriesen It's IN Surrey - 5 minutes from neighbourhoods like Ocean Park, 10 minutes from Morgan Crossing. I live in Clayton Heights (near Langley) and it's about 25 minutes away for me. It's definitely not "45 minutes away" for anyone in the city of Surrey.
@@TeachersOnFire well, you are lucky to live in surrey and still be close to something natural. It was 45 minutes away from where I lived in central Surrey.
Completely agreed with your assessment. The nearest nice park and uncrowded so far is (Queens Park). I can't find any nice parks where my kids can enjoy themselves. Even Bear Creek is a shit show.

That makes no sense. Either she was or wasn't good enough. I think there's more to the
"someone's" story.
No this ís the story. Universities get more money for international students than Canadians, so they prefer them and help the international students get into the seats, leaving Canadians frustrated.
After studying, these international students return to their country of origin, because they have contracts with their governments, leaving Canada to train up professionals for other countries and leaving Canada high and dry.
It stinks!

Hello sir, I enjoy your content but also Canada has lost it's luster. I work full time in Vancouver, and used to live there but had to move to Surrey as a downgrade. I realized that even in the GVR and outskirts the idea of buying a house is absolutely a delusional dream come untrue. I believe I will never afford this fool's dream because although I work full time, I have been reduced from middle class to lower class working poor. The only place I am going to be able to buy a house is somewhere in Russia, perhaps the outskirts of Moscow, maybe Siberia as I have seen some houses there as cheap as 5 grand, on a minimal scale and if I want a few more perks maybe 20 to 30 grand to splurge. I saw a larger 8 bedroom house going for what would amount to 71 K CAD. If I do not take this chance I will die houseless in this 3rd world country of Canada.
I hope your plans work out for you. Thanks for commenting!
Isn't that a joke.. russia used to be communist, canada used to be free.. the script has flipped.
I don't understand how anyone is affording anything in BC when even the crappiest home hours away from Vancouver costs almost a million dollars. That's complete insanity.
In Quebec city I paid $260k for my semi-detached house.
Weather. Winters. 3:59
Most people that relocate here do so for the weather and scenery
I'm several hours from Vancouver but recently a dilapidated little house that probably should've been torn down went for 1.4 million. It's got to the point where only the wealthy can buy a home, and they're not even nice homes, run down and full of black mold thanks to the persistent humidity that rarely dips below 60%.
Canada is dying.

I see many “save the farmers “bumper stickers- referring the situation in India but how about “save the farmland in Surrey “ So much fill has been dumped on some of the most fertile soil in the world for the sake of building mega homes and businesses. What happened to the Agricultural Land Reserve?
Its still there, there has been some added protections in the last few years but you are correct.
I live in Surrey by kigg george and 104. I cannot go 2 hours without sirens. Gun shots, Fires, Assaults, fireworks and more occur so frequently here I never let my guard down.
We have owned businesses in Surrey since the 80’s. Early 80’s looks like a dream compared to the Surrey I see now. It will only get worse as the. Majority of ethnic population there has chosen not to be ‘proud Canadians’. Heck, they just created another sub-country exactly like they ran away from. Somehow they’ve infiltered into most government offices, yet still can’t fill out a Cencus honestly. Huge monster homes housing -who knows how many people- pay only 1 property tax, 1 school tax etc. no wonder the average Canadian-born senior can’t get a doctor and our hospitals, schools, all infrastructure is suffering. Learning at least 1 of the 2 languages of our country should be mandatory.
Our community has changed a lot in the last 10-20 years, yet is this not consistent with most major cities in Canada?
@@GermynGroup not conistent with major cities in Canada. Are you sure about that, come to Calgary and you will see the exact same thing with the punjabi take over.
They didn't infiltrate into government offices. They have been chosen by the elites to be the new managerial class across the country.
I always avoid going to surrey whenver possible, moved to chilliwack in 2020 and satying here since then
I heard Chilliwack can be a little rough at times, no?
Yup, not good recently with increased crime rates,
When I lived in Surrey in the 1990s, I worked for the school district in charge of keeping the classroom electronics and school computers operating. One year we opened 4 new high schools and 6 new elementary schools. They all opened with portables. I only had 5 technicians for over 15,000 desktops. That was when Surrey had about 300,000 people. I moved to Los Angeles in 2001 because by then I was on my phone half the telling people they has to wait for their scheduled tech visit to get emergencies dealt with. Elementary schools for a half day visit every three weeks. High schools a full day every 3 weeks.
I came back to Burnaby in 2010 and now live in Maple Ridge. When I have gone back to the Newton area in Surrey, I am amazed at how congested it is now. Both houses in Newton where I lived have both been replaced by mega houses with 1-2 lower level suites in them. And it seems that most all houses in the old neighbourhood have a laneway house built in the back yard. With the streets packed with parked cars.
Even Vancouver is in rush hour mode all day. It takes over an hour to get onto highway 1 at the Lonsdale on ramp in North Van and get to Hastings street across the Ironworkers Bridge. The wholes lower mainland is a victim of its own success. Basically, greater Vancouver is full people. What it was 50 years ago that was so attractive. is now a sea of slow moving cars.
Yes our area generally is so much bigger and busier than ever. Makes me wonder if the majority of residents support this growth
You couldn’t pay me to live in that crap hole. Surry Curry. It’s just as crappy as a Langley, Abbotsford.
I'm Brazilian living in Surrey, in one of the Hub buildings. I like living here. I'm able to use an underground passage to go to Save On Foods in the winter, which is really convenient. It's a super nice place. My desire is to move to Squamish, but I don't have money. My in-laws live in West End, (Downtown) but it's impossible to afford. Surrey is good. I can walk to Green Timbers or get SkyTrain and go to Downtown in 35-38 minutes.. No reason's to complain.. I bought a brand new car with the diff of rent in different areas..
Living near a Skytrain station is, in my humble opinion, the one thing that would make life in Surrey tolerable. You get the benefit of reasonable rent, combined with quick and cheap access to Vancouver, New Westminster and Burnaby. This strategy works well for my brother, who moved there about 20 years ago. It works for him, a renter with low income.
Thanks for sharing!
I live in King George Hub as well. Hello neighbor.
Surrey bc used to be a very nice place to live. Over population and stresses are not so good.
What I like most about Surrey is that I don’t need to spend a lot of money travelling to New Delhi or Mumbai. I find here everything about India like good food, all the religious paraphernalia, weird clothing and Bollywood music and movies. Candies and Indian desserts are the best. I like the parades with thousands of gods specially the one with hundred arms and legs and guys seated in yoga positions like a mummy. It’s very fun Surrey. I think Surrey is the first Sikh Kingdom in the world.
I know you are being sarcastic, but we do have some amazing indian food out here, among other cultures food too
Im born and raised in east van riley park area then by memorial park and I moved to surrey in 2014 in my 30s. I hate livining here as I ppl lack social etiquette and class here. Growing up in the big nice city raised me differently but I used to all types of people and demographs. When I lived in Van, Id drive to Surrey, liking the suburban feel here but it is too overpopulated here.
We have been saving up for a down payment in surrey, and we are now moving to saskatchewan. $148k is what we paid in saskatchewan vs the hiuse in Guilford that was $1.5m.

I have lived in surrey since 1968 and as soon as I can I am leaving the roads are terrible the cultural over taking from the Punjabi community is extreme. All the beautiful open space we once had has been plowed underfed. Health Care terrible, the housing market and development t market is owned by the Punjabi Community as is the Surrey City council and has been since the early 80’s, run run for your lives. The police are going to become a municipality run organization which means the corruption will be worse than it ever was under the RCMP, with it, the municipal police being run mostly by the Sikh and Muslim Communities, very different values, Surrey could have been an example of great planning and livability had the municipal councils
Back in the early 80’s cares more about the standard of living than lining their pockets with under the table money paid for by the then Sikh developers, who by the way own all of the farm land now in surrey.
Lived in Surrey for 25 years, (central area, cedar hills aka Whalley) wasn't exactly my city of choice, it was close to work, without having to cross bridges.
vehicle traffic is insane! One big freeway. Snow omg, nordel hill and river road
Transit is okish sort of.
Best Doctor's at SMH and Clinic, they are burned out, over worked still give you 101% the longest waited was 14 hours due to medical emergency in the hospital all doctors left the emergency department to tend to a patient. Shortest 30 minutes.
Beautiful whalley parks a lot of baseball diamonds, near BC Lions trainning park.
Green timbers park over populated not as enjoyable.
Surrey place mall aka Central city community mall, requires a facelift, it has a family oriented feel
Bike riding in Surrey not pleasurable experience. It is not Vancouver, no fraser river path ways or 'seawall'
Brownsville park under skytrain bridge is beautiful though sketchy area, good fishing. Good fishing along the fraser river dock.
Some people are friendly, ethnic community are disrespectful, not all.
Fireworks(bombs) weeks before halloween lit off until the wee hours of the morning and weeks after too, anything goes in Surrey!
People dump their garbage in back alleys, open fields... its a dirty city.
The cost of gasoline can be more expensive.
Best Whitespot at Guildford, staff very friendly, in a laid back family oriented atmosphere, good conversation. Ask for Nick

Easy to get to new Westminster by skytrain, best fireworks display.
Never a dull moment in Surrey, once had a dozen cop cars in my neighbourhood looking for someone, this guy runs through my back garden, cops jumping my fence chasing this guy. Hit and runs, murders, tesla drivers running red lights, helicopter out searching

I like how you compared the crime rate of Surrey with Vancouver but not Burnaby or New West, where the crime index is almost half lol
I have a video coming out on this soon. Crime is a lower mainland problem, not limited to Surrey
Surrey has become a huge sprawling city, traffic multiplied manifolds. Surrey two decades back was a excellently livable city, presently residents face all sorts of problems generally associated with congestion and overcrowding.
It’s crazy busy
Surrey has none of the things BC is famous for…. until you get to White Rock!! But you can barely see the mountains from Surrey, and there are no swimming holes. If you are driving on Hwy 1 eastbound in Surrey you may be able to see Mount Baker, but you can never see any of the local mountains from Surrey. The closest place to swim would be White Rock but that’s really far.
I love the "come to Canada" videos, it's 90% shots of BC, one of the CN Tower, Niagara Falls, a wheat field and maybe an iceberg. Lol
If English is your first language, Surrey is not the place to move to. You'll rarely hear it being spoken around you. In fact you'll rarely see someone where English would be their language. Not the same in White Rock; you'll see a mix of people there, that does include Caucasians.
Only 3 weeks, I have to wait 2 months to see my GP, top that!
Crazy right?
Its so funny, people wanted to live in Burnaby and Vancouver. THEY MOVED THERE AND DID FARMING AND LATER INFRASTRUCTURE GOT DEVELOPED NOW PEOPLE ARE JEALOUS ABOUT THEM and just want to defame the community.
6 years ago, I started saying #surreyistheworst . I got out and moved to Maple Ridge, and I wish I hadn't wasted 24 years of my life in Surrey.
Dude you couldn’t be so far from the truth it’s no where as bad as you claim except for maybe the traffic due to construction. School And Drs walking clinics is same issue in all cities but surrey is still in far better shape.
Surrey Memorial Hospital and the surrounding medical district that includes the 3 towers across from hospital containing all the additional specialists, largest outpatient care with Jim Patti on building, a Surrey heart Centre, and a full blown Heart clinic with a team of specialists that track patients hands on for a year or more for treatment above and beyond the separate specialists. The Surrey Hospital is largest hospital and medical district in Metro Vancouver next to Vancouver General Hospital it is not just Surrey’s Hospital but also Fraser Valley’s head hospital with all the services located around it. I have witnessed them accept emergency heart patients that was driven from signing in at emergency to a bed in intensive care wired up to monitors with in 15mins and a internal medicine dr monitoring and prescribing tests, bloodwork, scans within a few minutes of that. The hospital also has the largest Cancer centres in BC next to VGH but better… if you lived in RIchmond they would send you to see specialist at VGH and then get certain scans etc in downtown Vancouver/Chinatown or to St.Paul’s… or other hard to go to places with parking and traffic issues. But with Surrey everything is there with the hospital and its medical district in the same area. They have additional outpatient specialists outside that district through the city and Fraser valley as well. There is another hospital at the south west corner which is called Whiterock which might as well be Surrey since surrey mainly services it but it’s own city Whiterock and that peace arch hospital sits on the WR side of the border for WR/Surrey… the new hospital in south surrey//Cloverdale is intended be major hospital, much larger that Rmd or. Burnaby but to support peace arch and surrey memorial to help rest South Surrey/Whiterock and bring a major state of the art Cancer Centre there’s well to help that side of the region including Langley etc… the Cloverdale hospital with also have a medical district of outpatient hospital and specialist care services…
So far I’ve only mentioned the hospital medical care not the endless clinics and Lifelabs centres and haven’t touch on schools, roads nor crime, transit, and for now 2 police forces Surrey RCMP & new Surrey Police. RCMP HQ. for BC in Surrey as well. I can go on forever. Surrey vs any other city in BC is doing very well while it still has deal with the same challenges the other cities do as well but it handles them better… it still holds largest Fireworks for Canada Day in western Canada, handles multiple border crossings, has the largest parades in BC while stated to be the largest city in BC and fast growing in North America… heavy mix cultures in Surrey with white and Indian being largest so every type of cuisines available.
Now if you don’t like it in Surrey then please please leave we could use the space for someone that appreciates the area and its growth and good luck at the other cities but don’t come back when you see what you lost…

Get ready for five years of chaos on Fraser Highway during the SkyTrain construction.
Funny, I only think of bad things when I think of BC.

You have to take a Time Machine back to the late seventies, or early 80. I was a kid, but it was normal back then. After Expo, then the olympics. The government promoted B.C as the best place to live. You saw it , and heard it everywhere! The whole world did come! Making all the lower mainland a rich person’s paradise!
1) healthcare is trash everywhere in bc. Surrey might be worse but the bar is already in hell soo yeah.
2) infrastructure in surrey seems to depend largely on what part you are in. Even the busier bits are more workable than many other cities during rush hour. Its leaving the city that's painful. Plus schools anywhere outside of Vancouver are all over serviced as far as I can tell. Vancouver is unlivably expensive, so everyone is spilling into the greater vancouver area
3) its reputation may hold in some areas, but again, it all depends on the area.
All that to say, bc is just not a great place to live right now, but it can be more or less livable based on the specific area within any given area. Getting out of the province is the best decision ive made in a while

I'm Indigenous and lived on the west coast years ago and now moved back. I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE SURREY NOW!!! Racism is quite thick. I faced renovictions and oh yeah my landlord gave us an eviction notice because my child had the audacity to play in the backyard and made some noise. That became I had to turn all our lights off at 9pm while his unit had all his lights on and enough outside lights to look like daylight. They stopped us from using the laundry because I blocked the door to it with the fridge because I caught the landlord snooping around my house ( we had no lock on it and he wouldn't provide one. So we had some debates and then he got the eviction. Found out he couldn't because of his infractions and then said his cousin was moving in and when that didn't work it became his mother and Grandmother. In other words when he found out I was Indigenous ( White presenting Metis ) I was no longer good enough. Even paid 6 months rent up front. By the way , I had to dive in a ditch because of a drive by. You must live in one of the better areas. That being said it is still a very good area for natural parks and greenery. Just be careful who you deal with.
Sounds like one of our landlords there in Surrey. He asked for six months to be payed in advance for a space on his driveway for our RV and had the stupidest rules to make it look like we didn’t live there. Impossible for my roommates who were elderly. He ripped us off constantly threatening to evict us only to say we couldn’t move until the six or three months were done when we had had enough and went to a real RV park by chance. Can’t even rent pads. Huge waiting lists, shortages and the rent for pads and spaces like his has doubled since. That was about two Years ago

Surrey is the new New Delhi. You'd be walking down the street in Delta for example (Scott rd) and you'll think you're in india. Hordes of indians walking on both sides of the street. Before these people were allowed to invade the country you could barely see a few people (of all races combined) walking on either side but now you see dozens and dozens of these people (indians) walking on the sides. NOT good. This is done ON PURPOSE by the govt. This is exactly what the WEF ordered. This WILL result in the destruction of the labour market.
The worst part of living in Surrey is that you're living in a matrix of road intersections masquerading as a city.
Haha right!?
I live in fleetwood bc and I still enjoy life 😊
I look everything positive. SO GRATEFUL AS IT IS !I LOVE SURREY !LOVE AND LIGHT💕💕💕
I love Surrey too :P
I am not moving there after listening to u,,so can't use ur real estate service..
hahaha, my video was too convincing...
Surrey is like living in the woods but you are locked in the outhouse. You know it's beautiful if you can just get out.
haha!
If you live in Surrey you must love curry!
Surrey and Vancouver are both really diverse. I have many friends with families from different origins, I'm sure you do too?
Sounds like you're promoting Surrey..
Living in Surrey can be rough lmao, still though some amazing people here, theyre just hard to find
haha, I agree but this is true of the Lower Mainland too!
I'm a Christian from India and let me tell you that most of India doesn't live like how these folks do, atleast the ones who have migrated from big cities in India. I have come here to assimilate into the culture, complete my masters and probably find a job that comes under a skill that is hard to find amongst Canadians. In that way neither am I taking jobs from fellow Canadians or doing some shitty job for a PR. And if none of that works, I'm happy to head back home and do what I was doing which was working in the corporate back in India.
The folks you find in Brampton and Surrey are the ones who come mostly from Punjab and not all are bad, let me tell you that but the issue is Punjab is mostly farmland and most of these folks haven't even seen a major city in India, so when you suddenly pick someone from there and have them land in Canada, its a culture that they don't understand, so they force themselves to mix only amongst themselves (Punjabis). Also these folks don't speak the official language which is Hindi or English, they mostly just stick to their own which is Punjabi, so they find it hard to get along with the rest of the states. Now the current government has let so many of them come into Canada that its hard for them to manage any of these excess immigration.
Honestly the shock that one has to deal with in a new land is understandable from a Punjabis POV but this isn't good for Canada or Canadians because this isn't the culture one follows here and as a Christian Indian I understand this well.
I honestly hope that Pierre puts an end to this unskilled immigration coming in from Punjab. Its not good for Canada as the country isn't prepared for such large unskilled migrants to come in who can't understand the culture or have any value add to the society. A good example of whats actually good immigration is to see how America gets the cream of students and immigrants from India. Doctors, engineers, nurses, lawyers, teachers, data scientist you name it all mostly from the west and southern states of India who pay their taxes and have helped America grow.
Also here's one interesting fact, especially for Canadians who think all of these folks are Indians, ask any of them in Brampton or Surrey whether they are Indians or Punjabis and I bet you they will first say they are Punjabis, that shows how much they hate India themselves. No patriotic Indian will ever deny they are an Indian. Hence the term Khalistan has emerged so much.
A humble request to my fellow Canadians as a Christian who respects the values of this country, do your research on the situation in Brampton and Surrey, you'll understand what's actually going on there.
I appreciate your perspective and thoughtful contribution to the discussion.
Great comments and perspective. Thank you for sharing
I don't understand why Canadian government let so many unskilled and old immigrants into the country. Corrupted government all along I think, just give me the money...I will let you in strategy... no one cares who you are I guessed
Schools are not great. When my kid was in primary school I had to take her out of one school because too many kids couldn’t speak English, it was hindering her education. This was over ten years ago it maybe be worse now.
Oh really? What school? I know teachers are challenged with this, they have to teach and also teach english to some, making it quite difficult on everyone.
Its a pit, stay away
Have you been before?

Worst part of Surrey? Smells like curry. Even the skytrains going there smell like it.
